Oh no, Karrie, that's terrible. I hate it when dreams affect my days. Those are sad dreams too :( I find that I'm more stressed now than I have been in years and I find it's affecting so much, and I think that's also why I'm having so much trouble making some progress (even when I'm eating and exercising well). Have to…

Yay Donna, good for you for going. My Mom had the same issue (precancerous polyps that they caught early). I've been impressed that my parents have been good about getting their checkups. Yay for your new cooker, Jacque, but too bad it won't work properly! How did the rice experiment go? Hopefully there is a trick you can…

Hi guys, happy Friday the 13th!! Does feel like it was a bit of a weird week. Hope yours finished off better than yesterday, Karrie! We are having crazy rain apparently all weekend long (with the potential for freezing rain). I'm so ready for spring!!! Mm your meals always sound so interesting, Mihani! Simple but things…

Hi guys, week 1 feels good so far except for the headache today! I knew it was coming, and I was just lucky yesterday I didn't get it. Also, my sleep has been weird since the baby is sick too, so that may be part of it. I'm going with tried and true (Fuhrman and OSG this week, and some basic salads) but I really need to…

Hi guys!! We are a third of the way through April practically but here I am hehe. I've started a 1 week ETL plan for myself after being inspired by Mihani, and too terrified to think of 6 weeks. I would like to do at least 4 weeks but 4 1-weeks sounds so much more manageable. I know myself !! Donna, your italy pictures…

Hiiiiiiii guys (*sheepishly poking my head in*) Sorry I've been so bad at keeping up with everyone's posts. So nice to come back and hear how everyone is doing and all the delicious things you're eating! C&P - I LOVE salads that have some warm element. Lately, I've been warming up black beans with some taco seasoning and…

Hi guys!! Sorry it was a crazy week. We had a really nice night out on Saturday night - first time in a hotel room with a baby! Lol. I was so excied to have wine and a bath but the bath had no plug so I just had the wine... still okay lol. I've been so tired lately though, I never have a good night of sleep, but last night…

Scott/Sloth/Mr. White! Are you rocking a new look these days? You're the prodigal son/I'm the prodigal daughter I think. Just for now. I'll be a regular again soon... muahahaha I have heard of PPF from Dreena, Mihani, and was thinking it would be a good one for me to buy. I'm really hoping if I feed Edie what we are eating…

Ah friends are funny sometimes too. One of my best friends loves to gift me food, and we enjoy food as a part of our friendship. But for Christmas, she gave me a big bag of Reese's mini cups. Which I love, but she knows I've been trying for totally vegan for months now. Sigh. Don't beat yourself up though, it's something…

Hiiiii guys!!! The prodigal daughter returns!! And what better day to pop by on the second to last day of January... I debated just waiting until Thursday to come say hi (on a new thread) but if I don't do it now, then who knows. Hi Donna!! So nice to e-meet you. I used to be a regular on here but had a baby last year and…

Ahh hope today was a better day for you, Mihani. When it rains, it pours, right? Today, I went to the dentist this morning for two fillings. My teeth are hurting now too, but I'd been putting it off for so long, I'm so glad it's done. When is your appointment for? This Friday? I'm in the office this afternoon, also for an…

Here's my little growing baby!

Ooh Carla I LOVE your resin work!! Your yarn is so cool and original. Did you ever figure out how to do an online shop? I have been obsessed with cherries for dessert lately too! Still a bit of dark chocolate in my days though. Scott!!!! You're back. Nice to see our favourite resident male too :) how is the fam and your…

Hi guys I'm so impressed, wow! You're doing great! Is there something in the air or so we just spit on each other?! I'm actually down 5 lbs and have some great momentum going too. I have finally stopped searching for the sweets after my meals too which is making a huge difference. On the weekend, I told Mark to get me some…

Hi guys!! So funny, I keep seeing the carrot dogs on FB too. If either of you try them, let us know! Wow Carla, you're bursting with delicious recipes! Thanks tonyou both for posting. It's so nice to have recommendations. I made a lentil dal yesterday and the recipe sounded great and the end result looked great but it was…

Hi guys, happy July (and happy 4th American friends)! Wow you two are on fire!!!?! Amazing. Nice that you're on fire together too! I'm doing well and sticking to vegan but not quite strict E2 and definitely not strict ETL just yet but still pretty good. I bought a bunch of fruit to get my off the junky grains/granolas and…

Hi Hoffman!! Welcome :) Edie is growing! 7 weeks yesterday and 9 1/2 pounds now.

Hi you guys!!! I'm so sorry I've been a terrible pal this month. I feel like I say that every time I come and post. How are you guys doing?? Sounds like you guys are kicking butt as usual! I'm actually doing it!! I started the E2 7 day rescue on Monday and I've been good! Vegan for my 6th day. I'm hoping it sticks and this…

Carla, just went back and read. AND saw the amazing photo of little teeny, tiny Reba in all her glory!! Haha so adorable. Also, any bowl ideas to share? Also, a dozen eggs a day?!?! OMG I can't imagine either lol.

Hey you guys! Sorry I've been such a bad pal lately. The days go by so quick and I haven't been making it on here as much, but I do feel like my time management has been getting a bit better! Edie is such a cutie but she is temperamental too lol. She's mostly pretty good but on Sunday night/Monday she was fussy like crazy.…

Hi you guys!!!!!!! Baby arrived!!! She arrived on May 5 actually and two weeks have just flown by. I had heard so many people say the first few weeks are insane but I didn't know how/why if newborns were so sleepy, but it's true, I find I'm tending to her all day long and not napping at all!! Haha We named her Edith (Edie)…

Thanks you guys, you're always so nice and supportive <3 Karrie that sounds awesome!!!!!!!! I feel like trying to make it more fun and interesting for your kids will hopefully make it more fun and interesting for you too (although you never make it such a priority for yourself lol). I'm drooling over banana ice cream now…

Ahhhhhh seeing it blown up like that is so much more awful lol. Mihani, great job with the E2 stuff!! Sounds like you're doing great. It's nice to change it up and then it feels fresh and new too. I love that there is a supportive board that you can snoop through too. (Please don't leave us for them!! hehee). Also, good to…

I forgot that we got a few maternity photos done! I was so embarrassed but kept thinking I would rather have some evidence that this happened than none, and wish I did in ten years. Here is one of them! Although it's not a side shot lol.

Mihani, the E2 rescue sounds amazing!!! Good for you. 6 lbs is huge!! How are you liking it? Does it feel different than ETL? I like the more grains idea... I feel less "deprived" when I stick to it lol. I don't know if I could handle the spinach texture in oatmeal though, lol, you're adventurous. Wow Carla my arms hurt…

Hi guys! sorry I've been MIA too. I feel discombobulated like everyone else it seems. I have started this thing where I don't sleep between 4-6 at night... I have no idea why but it's making me feel so awful! And then I panic because I feel like it's only a limited time until I have no sleep! Lol. Baby has dropped though…

This was my thought exactly!!! LMAO.

Hi Mihani, how's your salad streak going this week? I've surprised myself and I'm actually sick of toast and enjoying my salads this week! Hope that lasts lol. I made this thai curry with lots of veggies but I overcooked the broccoli and it's not as good as it could be. Something different though. I've also got corn on the…

Hi guys! Sorry it's taken me a week to write in the April thread, I'm the worst! I would complain about work but I think Mihani's work ghost would hunt me down lol. I feel like you're always looking forward to something that will make your work load lessen, but it never comes or something new comes. Sigh. How were the…
